NBKIDS

NBKIDS parents be sure to join us this Sunday for service. This Sunday in NBKIDS at 9 and 11. Please make sure you talk to your kids about it afterwards! Make sure your kids attend!

New Beginnings Church ABQ 4770 Montgomery Blvd ABQ NM 87109. Below is some info on what we went over and the short video we watched to accompany our lesson. Watch with your kids and partner with us to teach your kids the Bible!

BOTTOM LINE: When we grow closer to God we can commit to serving others!
CHALLENGE DAY 15 – 21: Kids will commit to serve each day. They can serve their parents by doing chores without being asked. They can serve their teachers by helping after class. They can serve their friends by helping wherever they see a need.
KEY PASSAGE: Matthew 25:31-46, The Sheep and The Goats
MEMORY VERSE: “May you have power with all God’s people to understand Christ’s love. May you know how wide and long and high and deep it is.” Ephesians 3:18 (NIrV)

IN THE CAR: On the drive home, ask your child what he learned about this week:
What is this week’s challenge? To serve others every day this week. Looking for opportunities to share the love of Jesus with others by helping, encouraging, and showing love. Jesus recognized who his followers were by the way they served others. It was evidence that He was in their heart when they served the “least of these.” Matthew 25:31-46, The Sheep and The Goats

HANGING OUT: Make this week’s lesson real:
Ask your kid who they can serve this week.
Ask your kid what different ways they can serve others this week.

AT DINNER: Here are some great discussion starters:
- Why do we serve?
- How does serving others make us SHINE like Jesus?
- How does it make you feel when you help or encourage someone?

AT BEDTIME: Quiz your child on this week’s memory verse:
“In the same way, let your light shine in front of others. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will bring praise to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (NIRV)

PARENT TIME: This series moves beyond the church walls into your home! Our goal is for kids to grow closer to God and become better servants as they take on the 40-day challenge. Challenge day 8-14 is all about serving others this week! Each day, kids will pick at least one person to serve. Some great ideas you can share with them are helping you around the house, being a servant to their teacher at school by offering to help pass out papers, and serving their friends by including them, encouraging them, and helping them wherever they see a need. Check-in each day at the beginning and the end of the day to help remind kids to be a servant and to ask how their day went!

Have you ever wondered what the future holds? It can be super exciting -- or even a little mysterious! But no matter what’s ahead, God gives us hope to keep looking forward to His good plans! As your child watches this video, we want them to have fun and learn about Jesus on their level. We love to bring stories from the Bible to life because we want your child to know that it is the most amazing book that’s ever been written!
